Tho George Frisbie Hoars and Their
Unfortunate Case In washington County, /
Ter.
Since the Senate, moved thereto by !
George Frisbie Hoar, has ordered an
investigation of u little ncighborhood
row in Washington County, Tex, 1t
would not be out of place for some
Southern Senator to ask an inquiry
into the outrage which recently took
place in frontier county in Nebraska.
In the Texas case it is asserted by Mr..
Hoar that citizen who is q Republic
an was driven from home by Demo-
Gratis. In the Nebraska case, which
was reported in the newspapers q few
days ago, a Southerncr, who had re-
Gently arrived from Virginia, was
driven from his home, presumably by
Republicans.
1t has been a long time since we have
had National coroner's inquest on
some local quarrel in remote county,
and the heart of George Frisbie evil
IDENTIFY yearns for one. Filtered through
the biased minds of few partisans
such as he the details of disturbance
in Texas become of the most soul-har-

ates are not instituted for any such
purpose as this, but when ancient pol
iticians are out of meat even the SEN
ate must join in the search for some.
The alacrity with which the august body
of which the distinguished George
Frisbie is q member agreed, by strict
party vote, to investigate family row
in State having jurisdiction of the Of
fense shows that the value of a little
sectional hate has not been forgotten
by the self-styled patriots Of the day.
and that if they can not bring discredit
upon their opponents. in one way they
will attempt it in another.
As matter of fact, the George Fris-
bic Hoars are in sad straits for an issue.
Their predictions of disaster and ruin,
, restored Confederacy and rehabil-
itated slavery, pensions for the rebel
soldiers and barrels of gold for the
liquidation of the rebel debt, the div.
, ision of Texas into dozen States and
| the packing of the Supreme Court, have
all proved false. Things appear to be
going on as well as they ever did and ;
, great deal better than they have a
